Slide Master
A slide master is the top slide in a hierarchy of slides that stores information about the theme and
slide layouts of a presentation, including the background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder sizes,
and positioning.
Every presentation contains at least one slide master. The key benefit to modifying and using
slide masters is that you can make universal style changes to every slide in your presentation,
including ones added later to the presentation. When you use a slide master, you save time
because you don't have to type the same information on more than one slide. The slide master
especially comes in handy when you have extremely long presentations with lots of slides.
Because slide masters affect the look of your entire presentation, when you create and edit a slide
master or corresponding layouts, you work in Slide Master view.
[Type text]
2. Slide layouts associated with the slide master
When you modify one or more of the layouts beneath a slide master, you are essentially
modifying the slide master. Each slide layout, is set up differently, yet all layouts that are
associated with a given slide master contain the same theme (color scheme, fonts, and effects).
Create and customize one or more slide masters
For each slide master that you want to create, do the following:
1. Open a blank presentation, and then, on the View tab, in the Presentation Views group,
click Slide Master.
2. When you open Slide Master view, a blank slide-master with the default, associated
layouts appears. If you want to add another slide master, do the following:
a. Click a location in the slide thumbnail pane where you want the new slide master
to appear.
b. On the Slide Master tab, in the Edit Master group, click Insert Slide Master.
Note In the slide thumbnail pane, the slide master is the larger slide image, and the associated
layouts are positioned beneath the slide master.
3. To create one or more custom layouts or to modify existing layouts, see Create a new
custom layout.
4. To add or modify placeholders in your layouts, see Add one or more content placeholders
to a layout or Change a placeholder.
5. To remove any of the built-in slide layouts that accompany the default slide master, in the
slide thumbnail pane, right-click each slide layout that you want to delete, and then click
Delete Layout on the shortcut menu.
6. To apply a design or theme-based colors, fonts, effects and backgrounds, see Apply a
theme to your presentation.
7. To set the page orientation for all of the slides in your presentation, on the Slide Master
tab, in the Page Setup group, click Slide Orientation, and then click either Portrait or
Landscape.
8. To add text that will appear as a footer at the bottom of all of the pages in your
presentation, do the following:
a. On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Header & Footer.
b. In the Header and Footer dialog box, on the Slide tab, select the Footer check
box, and then type the text that you want to appear in the center-bottom of your
slides.
